Agreed. VMware is amazing. Server management is no longer cumbersome and with HA (high availability) running there are no more hardware worries. Servers are no longer rack-mounted boxes, but instead just files we can drag - drop - copy - start - stop - upgrade - downgrade with a click of a mouse.
The power savings are terrific too. Fewer servers (hosts) running = power savings. Less heat generated in datacenter means fewer Liebert A/C systems running = power savings. More datacenter floor space to sell...virtual servers are better in every aspect.

There's no reinstallation, reconfiguration, etc. required to migrate to new hardware. Just install on the host OS on a new box and migrate the container over. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com On 12/15/2010 9:38 AM, Matt wrote: > Our current email server is getting a bit over loaded.
